The Minnesota Twins may be getting closer hiring an executive for their shuffled front office.

Rob Antony, currently interim general manager, will be the only in-house candidate to receive a formal interview for Minnesota's baseball-operations leadership role, according to a source.

Antony has handled the day-to-day responsibilities since longtime Terry Ryan was fired July 18.

Four outside candidates have interviewed with the Twins: Jason McLeod (Chicago Cubs), J.J. Picollo (Kansas City Royals), Chaim Bloom (Tampa Bay Rays) and Derek Falvey (Cleveland Indians).
